a mari usque ad mare

June 17, 2011

this is a land far to the north
alive on the lips of children’s playgrounds where
the beer flows like rivers, folks chase black rubber on ice,
and all the men are sexy, hairy, lumberjack-looking dudes.

supposedly,
if they speak,
we can understand them.
but it’s a queer sounding english,
just different enough to make you tilt your head like a confused puppy.

the name of this land is spoken in hushed whispers,
a fairy tale place, an alternate universe,
an unsolved x-file.
canada.

somehow,
and i’m not sure how,my clockwork crossed the border.
perhaps it was folded amongst other clothes,
or wrapped around native shoulders and walked across.
maybe someone sunk it down into epic shampoo bottle
or was smuggled over in that certain hidey hole.

like i said,
i don’t know the deets.
i probably don’t wanna know.

what i do know
is that somehow,
it made it across the border safely,
and landed in the hands of erica.look how green canada is!
it must truly be a magical place,
a mari usque ad mare.

Hairy lumberjack men?? dude, just in case you did not know.. erica appears to be… gasp.. a girl… you know us, we are out there, in canada and in the usa and other places…. you can tell us apart from the hairy, lumberjacks. mostly because we are sotf and have some bangin’ curves.. so……kudos to you for finding a charming canadian woman who does not look anything like a hairy lumberjack…. let us know how the chinese food is??
